STATEMENT ON SPANISH AIRPORT INSTAGRAM POST

London, 21 June 2021

Following our statement of 22 May 2021 and media requests today for a response to the publication of a photograph of Princess Latifa in Madrid airport, David Haigh, co-founder of the Free Latifa campaign and Detained International said: “We are no doubt joined by tens of thousands around the world that supported Latifa these last three years when we say we are pleased to see Latifa seemingly having a passport, travelling and enjoying an increasing degree of freedom, these are very positive steps forward. I can also confirm that several of the campaign team have been contacted directly by Latifa. We cannot comment further at this stage, save to say that our only goal is to secure the present day and future safety and wellbeing of Latifa and that we are currently, and have been since May, seeking guarantees in that regard. At present, the campaign has put on hold all campaigning activities and we would like to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all those around the world that supported the FreeLatifa campaign and Latifa.
